A SHORT READING GUIDEWhat does “not detected” mean?
It means that the substance tested was not detected at the detection limit of the method used. It does not mean absolute zero or that no pesticides were used during cultivation.
A conforming assessment applies only to the parameters and limits stated in the report. Read the full report for sample details, methods, measurement limits and the laboratory’s notes.
